I have some Questions, as i former UM2 Owner .
does the UM2+C still have that loud Hotend fan`s and 1/16 stepper drivers, have they been updated also ?

The hot end fans are the same I think, but not 100% sure.
The stepper drivers are new and the whole printer is very silent compared to an UM2+ Extended which is the loudest one here in my room.
You can use damper feet for your loud printers. I personally have mounted damper feet to my printer which have rubber balls for damping, and I can sleep beside my printer...

As the owner of two UM2+, I find it admirable that Ultimaker is improving their older models instead of just leaving them in the dust, lol. Any chance of making a retrofit kit to make older UM2's comp

That is what I said, in a few more words. Let's not forget, Ultimaker is a company and we need to be lucrative otherwise we cease to exist. We try to do this while staying as close with our customers

And there is also a different Z stage. All things considered, where it made sense to enable an upgrade from UM2 to an UM2+, upgrading to an UM2+C doesn't make sense. It would have been really cool tho

UbuntuBirdy, that is exactly why I bought the 2+ when I did. I was expecting some upgrades and options from Ultimaker. I got exactly zero. Certainly I can go fuss with the community based 2nd print head, which IMO Ultimaker should have done with the 2+ instead of making the 3, or at minimum made a complete kit to add on the 2nd print head.
I certainly agree that you can only spend your time once. I have chosen to do so by going with Joe. At 1/2 the cost and all the bells, a similar print quality/speed, PLUS an upgrade path.
It is clear the path Ultimaker has taken is to abandon the hobbyist/small home/small business and go down a larger business consumer path. Good for you. I wish you well in the $4,000-8,000 printer market.
Your company has innovated by abandoning its roots and have relocated resources to hang your loyal hobbyist/small home business customers out to dry.
